DES MOINES, IOWA (January 2, 2024) — In an endorsement that resonates with the historical values of Iowa, Joseph Howe, a stalwart figure in Iowa's libertarian landscape and former Libertarian Party of Iowa Chairman, extends a significant endorsement to Nikki Haley for the upcoming Iowa Caucus. The endorsement, framed under the poignant theme, "A Republic, If You Can Keep It," carries unique historical significance, combining Howe’s seasoned experience with the principled vision of our liberal republican experiment in self-government.

Nikki Haley, renowned for her commitment to limited government and individual liberty, emerges as a compelling choice for those who hold dear the principles of the republic. Howe, drawing from years of dedicated service to Iowa's libertarian cause, finds solace in Haley's alignment with economic freedom and small-"r" republican values which echo the essence of the state's political heritage.

The endorsement gains added weight with the backing of Americans for Prosperity, a leading libertarian organization co-founded by former Libertarian VP nominee David Koch. This support underscores Haley's dedication to policies that promote prosperity, individual empowerment, and a government that respects the boundaries set by the Constitution — values deeply rooted in Iowa's historical tapestry.

As Howe extends this endorsement to Nikki Haley, the call to action transcends political lines. It's a historic moment where a seasoned Iowa Libertarian leader joins forces with a candidate who defends the republic in line with the visionary spirit encapsulated by Benjamin Franklin's timeless words, "A republic, if you can keep it."

In the countdown to the Iowa Caucus on January 4, Howe invites all Iowans to join him in caucusing for Nikki Haley. This isn't just an endorsement; it's a call to safeguard the historical legacy of Iowa's libertarian principles and ensure the longevity of a cherished republic.
